Hell F1ash...this shit's been going on for years and years. CTIX is certainly not the first small company to be attacked by this recipe. It is a time tested and effective formula for short cabals and hedge funds (and in this case, likely big pharma), to manipulate stock share prices, drive companies share price so low that they cannot stay in business, and possibly cheaply buy viable assets/developmental-products before they can be commercialized and their true value be realized (the big pharma angle...).
